For ProsperUs, it is all about transparency and simplicity. This is one of the main reasons why they have a straightforward fee structure with no platform fee, no custody fee in SG, and absolutely no hidden charges.
With ProsperUs, it allows their users access to a diverse range of markets and asset classes across 30 exchanges and 25 markets.

“Zero commission fees” generally refers to the practice of some brokerage firms that offer trading services without charging a commission fee for executing trades. This means that investors can buy and sell stocks without incurring the typical brokerage fees that are associated with each trade.
However, it’s important to note that while some brokers may advertise “zero commission fees,” there may still be other costs or fees associated with trading, such as platform fees, spread, account maintenance fees, currency conversion fees, and withdrawal fees.
It is important to carefully review the terms and conditions of any brokerage offering “zero commission fees” to understand the complete fee structure and any potential hidden costs.
There was an article last year which was reported from the Business Times regarding an unfortunate incident on zero commission fees but with hidden costs which goes viral and left the impacted investor unwittingly having to pay a huge amount of hidden costs thereafter.
Celebrate Singapore National Day Campaign Together with ProsperUs
As part of the 58th National Day celebration, ProsperUs is offering an attractive True Zero commission for SGX stocks up until the 30th of September 2023.
In addition, they are also giving out prizes to weekly winners from local companies – which include the likes of items from PRISM+, Razer, LUMOS, and Secret Lab.
Furthermore, funding incentive for a dollar-for-dollar matching (capped at maximum of $580) is also given to entitled participant who makes the 58th deposit in each of the week starting from 7 August 2023 to 30 September 2023. For instance, if the 58th deposited amount for a given week is $500, CGS-CIMB will match this by $500 and credit the amount into the winner’s ProsperUs Account.
Winners of the previous weeks are tabled and announced in their website:
The commission fees tiering for the different key market are also set very competitively.
For instance, commissions for the US markets are set at a fixed rate of USD 5 for any of the exchanges listed below even if you fall under a beginner Rookie tier.
For all other markets, the fees are set competitively at a fraction of the costs ranging from 0.10% – 0.15%.
With these savings and no hidden costs, users can have a piece of mind and focus on better returns on their investments.
Key Features – Build & Boost
The ProsperUs platform UI/UX itself is sleek, simple to navigate and user friendly.
The home page has a dashboard summary where you have news announcement on one side and the overall portfolio and funds summary on the other.
You can also choose two main applications: BUILD or BOOST – which is primarily designed for different type of users.
For BUILD – it is designed for users who prefer a longer term approach to investing.
For BOOST – it is designed for users who enjoy trading with the markets on a more frequent basis.
There are a variety of different products that you can choose – Stocks, Bonds, ETFs or Funds.
If you choose stocks, the platform also offers different major nationality origin of stocks that are most popular, namely Singapore, US, Hongkong and/or China.
What I like about the platform is it provides a one-stop avenue for investors to study the fundamentals and charts of the company before buying or selling.
Now, if you are someone who trades a little more frequently in the market, you might want to choose the BOOST feature option.
It brings you to a more sophisticated page where you can look at more depth on the fundamentals and add different indicators to your chart.
For instance, I have indicated the MACD and the Fibonacci retracement line for Tencent Holdings (HKG: 0700) to allow me to find a better set-up for my position.
